Product Description

Throw out Bearing
Is the clutch in your Mustang whining when the clutch pedal is pressed in? Your problem could be a faulty throwout bearing or "clutch release" bearing. These bearings tend to go out over time due to driving conditions, and can eventually leave your Mustang immobile if not tended to. Make sure your clutch system is operating properly by replacing your worn out or malfunctioning throwout bearing with this high quality replacement! Self centering, heavy duty bearing design lasts longer than most other aftermarket bearings!

Published on 2013-08-14No transmission and clutch install is complete until you replace all the clutch accessory parts: clutch fork, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, pivot stud and clutch cable. We often get questions about clutch and clutch accessory installs. One of the most common questions we get is how do you properly install the throw-out bearing (release bearing) and clutch fork?

Follow along in the video as Jmac shows you the basic installation procedures to properly install your new clutch fork and throwout bearing. He also gives some proper grease tips for installing the clutch cable and pivot stud.

This install video will help you get your Fox Body, SN95 and New Edge Mustang back on the road. Be sure to check out our full line of Mustang clutch parts that include: 5.0Resto, Ford Racing, Steeda, Ram, BBK and more!

I installed one of these during a recent complete clutch/flywheel replacement job on a 93 Mustang with 126K mi on it. The clutch & pressure plate had been replaced and the stock flywheel resurfaced about 10K mi prior by the previous owner. The clutch release bearing, stock (aluminum shaft) input bear retainer, pilot bearing and everything else were original, tired and worn. The existing release bearing was worn down to the copper on the face from the pressure plate fingers. The rear flange was damaged/bent, the grease was nearly completely gone from the bearings and they had scored a deep channel in their race. It was considerably loud just spinning it in your hand at a hundred RPMs with no load on it. It was a lot worse in the car.

This along with a new pilot bearing and steel input bearing retainer were key in quieting down the high pitched whines and smoothing out the pedal effort to a much more linear level.

Don't cheap out and buy the part store throwout bearings like I did the first time. Spend the extra money up front and get one of these Ford Racing bearings, you just CANNOT beat the quality of these things for the price!

Ford Racing throw out bearings tend to last the longest and have the quietest operation. They cost a little more upfront, but are worth the extra money. A noisy throwout bearing drives me crazy!

Not typical quality...

I never review until mileage is accrued.

I want to point out, I don't blame LMR. Shipping was fast, it was well packaged, no issues as always.

However... I'm saddened to report...This throwout bearing was not up to the normal Ford Racing standards.

Mind you, I don't race my Fox.But within 823 miles (I log my mods/mileage )This new bearing is already squealing.Input shaft, pilot bearing, clutch fork are all in good order.

It lasted 3 weeks.I've always used Ford Racing throwout bearings. But I am unsure if I got a defective unit or if the quality has fallen.

I would have expected this from a local part store $14 piece... But for a bone stock 93 GT... And at $58, I can't in good conscience recommend this.

As always, LMR is great for parts, pricing, and they package their products well.

But Ford, you guys really dropped the ball on this one.

I'll continue to order from LMR as I've always done.But I'll be looking elsewhere for a throwout bearing.

I bought this TOB over the off-brand due to it being FRPP and hoping that it would hold up better than off-brand? If you are going to take the time & $ to replace it than you mine as well invest in a quality part. Works great but still makes just a "hint" of noise when starting from a cold start, the TOB is working in conjunction with Ram clutch & Maximum Motorsports cable. Overall, I think it's worth the extra $.

Replaced my clutch kit with a spec stage 1 setup, and used a national throw out bearing and not even 2000 miles later it cracked in half , decided to try this one out from LMR and it's been great. Quality is high grade , and actually cheaper than a ford oem bearing. Highly recommend it
